Hi,
i am new to this forum and in fact not that up to speed with hi fi's so please go easy on me. I came across this forum several times whilst doing research and it seemed appropriate to join and ask so e questions if I may?
21 years ago I bought a technics sa-ch 750, sl-ch750 etc... For my 18th birthday and it has been great. Recently the CD player stopped working and I have tried to have it fixed by the repair man but to no avail. The laser is bust and I can't find one anywhere so reluctantly I am giving up hope. I currently run a technics sl1210 through the amp and it sound good. I want to be able to access the rest of my collection.
so my questions are..
should I persist and try and get a replacement part of CD player? It connects via a ribbon so not even sure anything will link with it.
can I play the rest of my music through an MP3 player? There is nothing marked aux as such but they is dat, DCC and video inputs.
Should I bite the bullet and get something new? If this is the option can anyone recommend anything? So far my searches have led me to a marantz pm6005 amp and cd6005. And i have also seen the marantz pm66 SE KI amps on eBay which seem to have excellent reviews. with this I could potentially buy a CD player as well or play my Neil young pono through the aux??? Is this a good idea?
i want my phono to play as well as possible, as I am tending to buy mostly vinyl. Do I need a phono pre amp or are they not worth it?
apologies for so many questions but it seems there is a lot of helpful and knowledgable people on here.
cheers
alan
p.s if anyone has a technics sl-ch 750 then I will pay well for one as it hold sentimental value.
